How Tax Sales Operate in Vermont
Under 32 V.S.A. § 5258, delinquent property taxes follow a precise statutory timeline. Understanding the difference between bidding on Tax Deed (Redeemable) and purchasing over-the-counter is essential for investors.
Bidding & Auction Process
Auctions are conducted online via Town Public Auction or in person by the Town Tax Collector. Winning bidders are required to tender payment via wire transfer, certified check, or ACH within statutory deadlines.
Over-The-Counter Lands (Town Foreclosure Retention)
In Vermont, properties that do not sell at the initial auction are typically re-offered at subsequent judicial tax sales rather than sold over-the-counter.
